November 8, 2022 5.0 It is a great tool that can help entrepreneurs save time with automated publishing while keeping an eye on branding. Easy to use and there is a free option that works great (I have use the free and paid versions). Pros I have been using Planoly for almost 4 years now and it is such a great tool! What I like the most is how I can easily see my branding in one glance because the app simulate Instagram. I also really like how you can switch the day of posting by using the integrated calendar or I can do it manually. Cons Sometimes, when I drag a post in the app, I have to do it twice cause the app is very sensitive and doesn't always go where I want too, but it is a minor detail that doesn't impact my overall experience. You can also see only the 18 last published post, which is enough for me, but might be an inconvenience for some. Switched from [Hootsuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/121701/HootSuite/) I made the swtich from Hootsuite to Planoly because I couldn't keep an eye on my branding and it lead to some "errors", like publishing back to back similar pictures. I have Planoly integrated to Instagram and visual is a big deal on this platform! Review Source EJ Emily J. Operations Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for Layout View" June 2, 2025 4.0 Good. But I do with it had more integrations with other social planning programs. However, for scheduling posts and viewing layout, it's a great tool. Pros I like the ability to schedule posts ahead of time and plan content for instagram and facebook while viewing the feed layout. Cons I wish it had more capabilities - potentially an integration with Canva or Chat GPT. I also wish it could integrate with Meta Ads to view performance on paid content. Switched from [HubSpot Marketing Hub](https://www.capterra.com/p/171840/HubSpot-Marketing/) Looked for a free option and planoly's free plan was better. Review Source MR Mary R. Creative Manager Market Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Does the job most of the time; aesthetically minimal and "pretty"" October 28, 2022 3.0 It did it's job, but it often left us wanting more. Pros The aesthetics of it. Very minimal. Having a grid view and calendar view. Being able to export the report to share with clients. Cons No way to collaborate directly with clients. Doesn't connect to all platforms. Very Instagram-focused. Not a lot of customer support for it, especially in emergencies. Alternatives considered [Later Social](https://www.capterra.com/p/152254/Later/) Reason for choosing Planoly Later is a bit clunky and not the most intuitive.

Owner and Designer Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Planoly is a must-have for anyone that wants to have a better social media strategy!" May 25, 2025 5.0 Overall, Planoly saves me time and makes being present on social media so much easier. I can really focus on my strategy and be more intentional with what I'm posting! Pros I love using Planoly to schedule my social media! It makes planning, creating and posting my content super easy! Cons Theres not really anything that I don't love about Planoly. It's affordable, and meets all of my expectations that I have for a social media planner. Review Source MK Madhura K. Baker and Creator Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A great tool for creators and small businesses." July 16, 2024 5.0 Pros As a one-woman army, Planoly is my most trusted tool when it comes to social media scheduling for my baking business account. It saves you time, allows you to plan and schedule all compatible posts, and helps you maintain a library of your product pictures. I could not have asked for more but it's also helpful to plan content separately for each channel. Cons Its a little expensive than its competitors like Plann and Later Alternatives considered [Later Social](https://www.capterra.com/p/152254/Later/) Review Source HE Heather E. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Greedy App Designers, go elsewhere" April 2, 2024 1.0 The worst. I'm not sure if they were purchased by someone else in the past 18 months or if they just shifted to a profit-only model but the experience has been only negative for quite some time. Pros The calendar view is the only good feature of Planoly Cons The price, the features, the web interface has been glitchy for 18+ months, support is not informed of feature changes, auto posting is unreliable and has errors that surface during the posting and not during the drafting - wasting time and resources and often missing posts.

All features then were equal - this was 4+ years ago. Review Source BS Brandi S. Marketing and communications Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Don’t Plan on Planoly" April 12, 2021 3.0 Not good Pros The app seems well designed but that’s about it. Cons Where do I start. I was recommended this app by an influencer and it honestly makes me rethink if she ever even really used it. My content wouldn’t post or it would disappear and it was just very confusing to use. Alternatives considered [Hootsuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/121701/HootSuite/) Reason for choosing Planoly We all make bad decisions every now and then Review Source Sara G. Businessowner Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Your second brain" July 2, 2021 4.0 The most concerning issue it tackles is having the option to remain dynamic via online media, in any event, when we don't have the opportunity to. It additionally considers a strong feed, which is significant while displaying the scene. The capacity to see every one of the posts all together and how they will look once posted is significant. Pros Planoly makes it simple to pre-plan promoting for quite a long time at a time. Planoly makes it simple to plan out our online media for quite a long time ahead of time. Highlights like labeling different merchants, composing subtitles, hashtagging, and adding areas are promptly accessible and simple to utilize. It's anything but an extraordinary component that shows when your supporters are generally dynamic for you. Cons Frankly, I haven't discovered a disadvantage yet. I surmise interestingly, the free form is decent, yet to truly take advantage of Planoly, you definitely should move up to the paid adaptation.

It was too restrictive and too low quality for the investment it represents. In the end, you can get a result just as interesting by using your phone or simply the instagram web interface. Pros I liked the promise of being able to easily schedule my instagram posts as well as being able to easily manage multiple accounts for feed and posting Cons The software does not live up to its promise. It is already difficult and quite painful to link an instagram account, it is absolutely necessary to connect and give rights of use on a facebook account.The basic user plan is too limited when it comes to the number of posts you can make in a month. Finally the arrival of the web interface of instagram makes this application very uninteresting Alternatives considered [Later Social](https://www.capterra.com/p/152254/Later/) Review Source Masego H. Marketing Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Planoly Review" April 28, 2022 4.0 Great Pros Planoly is beautiful, easy to use and has the best feautures. Cons Their plans, in particularly the number of accounts you can link to planoly. Review Source Diego C. Social Media Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Utile per la programmazione dei post" January 17, 2023 4.0 Ho scoperto Planoly nel 2018 circa e per un breve periodo l'ho utilizzato con costanza. Sarebbe un'app perfetta per la gestione di Instagram, Pinterest e FB, se non fosse per quei bug rimasti irrisolti, come riavvii immotivati e ritardi nella pubblicazione dei post. Non male, ma da qualche tempo ho scoperto varie app simili e molto più complet Pros Il design minimalista - sia dell'app che della versione desktop - rende questo software semplice ed intuitivo. La possibilità di gestire più account Cons Bug ancora irrisolti. Nonostante i diversi tentativi di disinstallazione/installazione, riavvii dell'app che puntualmente non risponde (sia android che iOS), purtroppo alcuni problemi, specie all'avvio, non sono stati risolti. Review Source CL Claire L. MD Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Our go to for social media posting, every single day! " September 23, 2022 5.0 Pros We have been using Planoly every single day for the last 5 years and we absolutely love it! It easily allows us to arrange our feed, plan it, caption it, and schedule it. Cons There are a few glitches where your IG post and FB post aren't updated, also not being able to auto post reels with a cover, but i believe these are all changes to be made in the upcoming months. Review Source EJ Erin J. Customer Service/Admin Food Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simple and effective autoposting to Instagram!" December 15, 2022 5.0 Pros I love being able to schedule posts to automatically post to Instagram and Facebook. It's very simple to use overall, and makes my life much easier. Cons Set up for autopost could use some more instructions. We had trouble getting ours to connect and just a few more instructions/details would have made things easier in that regard.

Senior CX Associate Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple streamline planning" May 13, 2021 5.0 It has been great overall. There are things I wish I could change that I stated above Pros I liked that we could schedule posts and plan out our grid to be cohesive. It is very helpful in that aspect Cons I don't like that we can't tag people in our posts when scheduling. I also didn't like that we can't schedule carousel posts Review Source CC Caroline C. Spiritual Guide Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy way to schedule posts for social media - but sometimes doesn't work as expected" January 28, 2021 5.0 I liked having a place to schedule many social media posts at the same time but the price point doesn't make it a worthy investment for my specific business Pros I love being able to see my social media planning with images, edit captions and schedule many posts at the same time Cons Sometimes the posts end up not being posted at all for whatever reason, you also have to pre-edit the photo before uploading it to planoly Review Source mA martine A. ? Consumer Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "La programmation de publications NE FONCTIONNE JAMAIS" August 25, 2022 1.0 Mauvaise expérience, je vais aller à la concurrence. La programmation NE FONCTIONNE JAMAIS. Désastreux comme site. Pros malheureusement les points faibles sont plus importants. Cons la programmation ne fonctionne pas. Beaucoup d'avis négatifs sur planoly, j'ai fait l'essai avec la version gratuite et heureusement. Il ne me reste plus qu'à aller vers la concurrence. Reason for choosing Planoly Heureusement que je n'ai pas acheté ce produit. Review Source BB Brittany B. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Drag and Drop To Plan & Schedule Post is Efficient" January 20, 2022 4.0 Pros What I like most is being able to drag posts around and visually see what different placement would be like for your feed. Cons Not my favorite software in terms of user experience, but it gets the job done. Review Source LU Laura U. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I think Planoly is great!" May 7, 2021 5.0 Pros Only discovered Planoly fairly recently as an alternative to Hootsuite (who had recently raised their pricing). I needed an easy to use system for situations where Facebook Business Suite wouldn't work (sharing videos and images in the same post for instance). Cons Unable to share directly to Instagram, sometimes I also don't get the notifications to post. Review Source JV Jodi V. CEO Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Don't Purchase Planoly!" June 16, 2024 1.0 Frustrating. Unreliable. NO Support. Tech issues never resolved. No Communication. Pros Nothing. Tech issues for DAYS!! Scheduled posts did NOT go as scheduled! ETC! Cons EVERYTHING!!! I WANT A REFUND...NOW!!!!! Review Source MS Michelle S.

Love this tool and happy it exists! Subscription cost is affordable for companies of any size and ease of use is great. Pros This is a great planning/scheduling tool and is easily accessible for companies of any size and budget range. I've use this tool both at startups and large corporations and it's been an amazing resource for teams to streamline the social planning / scheduling. Cons Most of the time automatic posting works great, but there are some challenges with certain assets so as videos or carousels not deploying correctly.

Publicist Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Planoly's grid view is a game changer" November 26, 2023 5.0 Planoly's grid view feature is a must-have for content creators who want to take their Instagram game to the next level. It's a visual planning powerhouse and a tool that not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your Instagram but also simplifies the entire content creation process. Highly recommended! Five stars! Pros Maintaining a visually appealing aesthetic is crucial for content management, and Planoly's grid view has become my secret weapon in achieving that. The ability to plan my posts in a grid layout provides a bird's eye view of how my posts will appear on the feed. This especially comes in handy when I want t stick to a specific color palette.

Pros I like that I can have all the content of my feed organized so that it has a perfect aesthetic, it is important the order of your profile because it is the first impression that customers have of your brand, and this tool has helped me in that. Cons Sometimes the application fails to load images, especially when trying to load several images at the same time, but other than that, I feel it is perfect. Review Source PB Pauline B.

It’s a great organizational tool & we love that we can use it as a team. Pros We love how much time we save & that we san keep our content in one place, easily schedule it & also organize & tag/add hashtags for multiple categories. So far we haven’t hit any road blocks.
